Raynolds Addition in Albuquerque, NM

Raynolds Addition is a historic neighborhood just west of downtown Albuquerque, bounded by Central Avenue on the north and Sixth Street on the west, with the alleys behind Coal Avenue and Fourteenth Street closing it on the south and east. P. F. McCanna platted the tract in 1912, and it filled in over the following decades with bungalows, duplexes and small apartment houses along tree-lined streets. A single block of Fourteenth Street inside the boundaries is listed on the National Register as the Aldo Leopold Neighborhood Historic District. Bennie J. Hargrove Park and a community garden sit within the neighborhood, and its association is open to every resident without required dues.

That National Register district covers eight houses on the west side of Fourteenth Street, built between 1913 and 1920 in Craftsman and Bungalow forms and listed in 2002. Those lots came out of the Huning Place plat, drawn in 1913 from Franz Huning's estate. The naturalist Aldo Leopold kept a house on the block, which carries a State Register listing of its own.

No homeowners association governs the neighborhood and no assessment is levied. Renters, owners and business operators inside the boundaries belong to the Raynolds Addition Neighborhood Association automatically, and dues are voluntary, paying for neighborhood projects. Association volunteers run a bike valet at the Downtown Growers' Market from mid-April into early November.

The park on Park Avenue was dedicated in 2023 in memory of Bennie J. Hargrove, a Washington Middle School student, and holds a memorial bench and a red oak; the city has a pollinator garden at the entrance and playground work planned as funding allows. OffCenter Community Arts operates close by.
